The following are messages recieved from students and teachers after their visits.
"Thank you for talking to us about how we get good grades in school. I really think I got your message about our futures and how we should go to college. I also think that you really inspired me to go to the U of M. And also we should all sometimes sit up in front. By the way, the food was GREAT" - 6th Grader
I learned a lot about the U of M. I learned that you don't have to be shy to meet anyone, I also learned that you should be strong from the beginning to the end. I also learned you should always have a team, it can be your family members or your friends or your counselor at school. 6th Grader
